good recommendation clean room long time wrong name

Kathryn gave good recommendations of places to visit, she took care of us at breakfast! The room was clean and well-equipped. I loved everything

I noticed, on arrival, it took some time to contact someone. I was told we were not booked in. Later I was told to use a door key with someone else's name on it.
